SAVORY SPROUTED LENTIL & NUT SPREAD



Savory Sprouted Lentil & Nut Spread image

This is a very healthy, live food recipe with nut protein, EFAs and veggies. Use as a sandwich spread or thin it out slightly to make it a dip. As a filling you can roll up in lettuce leaves or spread into celery sticks. The recipe originates from Alive Magazine. It made a huge amount so I cut the recipe in half. As this is "live" food it does not keep, you need to eat within 24 hours or it begins to ferment. Perfect time to pull out your seed sprouter and make your own lentil or other sprouts - or you can usually buy a variety of sprouts in your local produce store. A food processor is the best tool for this, in order to get a true pate consistency. I have made it in my blender, which worked but I had to add some water to help things along so it was more like a hummus consistency. I am also editing to include about a tsp of tamari/soy/braggs as an option. I found it needed it an extra boost of seasoning.

Time 15m

Yield 1 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup raw cashews, finely ground (or grind whole ones in the first step)
1/2 cup celery, minced
2 teaspoons light miso (miso paste)
2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 cup sprouted lentils (or mixed bean sprouts)
2 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (or to your taste)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 pinch cayenne
1 tablespoon tahini
1 teaspoon tamari (or soy or Braggs)

Steps:

  • Grind up the cashews until they're quite fine, I find my 'magic bullet' works really well for this small amount, but then I have to transfer to a food processor to get it to a pate consistency.
  • Add in the rest of the ingredients, scraping down the sides a few times. Adjust seasoning to your taste, you may want to add a little extra miso for more saltiness or use the optional tamari/Braggs.
  • Refrigerate and use within 24 hours.

SPROUTED LENTIL SALAD



Sprouted Lentil Salad image

This sprouted lentil salad is a bit like a pasta salad in the way it comes together. Sprouted lentils are not only great health food, but perhaps the ultimate way to Eat Well and Spend Less.

Provided by Katie Kimball

Categories     Salad

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 carrots, sliced
one medium red onion, diced
1 colored pepper or mixed colors to equal one whole pepper, diced
3-4 c. sprouted lentils, measured after sprouting*
2-3 oz. feta cheese
cubed cheese, optional
handful of pea pods, but in half OR 1/2 c. frozen peas
1/4 c. crispy sunflower seeds (how to make crispy nuts)
1/4 c. crispy walnuts (use the code STEWARDSHIP for 10% off at that site!), crushed with fingers
dressing of your choice (see below for an oil-based and a creamy option)
Additional ideas: halved cherry tomatoes, sliced or diced avocado, green or black olives, sliced fresh mushrooms...the world is yours on this one!

Steps:

  • Toss together and serve. Add additional dressing if necessary after the salad spends time in the refrigerator. Store in the fridge; the salad is better after 6-12 hours, but then the quality worsens each day, so it's definitely best served fresh. Don't try to keep longer than 2-3 days once the dressing has been added.

CRUNCHY SPROUTED LENTIL WALNUT SALAD (RAW / LIVE FOOD)



Crunchy Sprouted Lentil Walnut Salad (Raw / Live Food) image

It was a classic case of too much month left at the end of my money and I was in a pinch for what to serve for dinner. These are all things we had on hand and the assembly was super quick (I like that!) and the family loved it (I like that even better!) If you've not sprouted lentils before, it couldn't be easier, but it does take a 2-3 day lead time. See Sharon123's recipe #204489 for instructions and tips. Thanks again Sharon for the inspiration to sprout!

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups sprouted lentils
2 cups walnuts (organic and raw for maximum nutrition)
2 large carrots
3 cups Baby Spinach, packed (or kale or a combo of the two)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (OR for variation, 1/2 c mayo)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon raw honey

Steps:

  • Place sprouted lentils in large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, chop walnuts very small, but do not reduce to a powder. If chopping by hand, you want the walnut pieces to be similar in size to the lentils. Put walnuts in with lentils.
  • In a food processor, chop the carrots. If processing by hand, you can also shred on a box grater. Put carrots in with lentils and walnuts.
  • Next comes the spinach. Either pulse in food processor or mince with a knife. Put in with carrots, lentils and walnuts. Mix to combine thoroughly.
  • For the dressing, shake all the dressing ingredients in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid until thoroughly mixed or use the bowl and whisk method. (if using the mayo, the bowl and whisk is much better suited).
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and combine until thoroughly mixed. We wanted just a little dressing to give a "pop" of flavor. If you like more dressing on your salads, feel free to double the dressing amount. (When we make this with the mayo, we then use this as a sandwich filling).
